His ___ behaviour at the party embarrassed his parents. (ACCEPT)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. unacceptable
- Step 1: Work out which part of speech the gap needs. Step 2. An adjective with negative meaning is needed before 'behaviour'. Answer: unacceptable. Why not the others: 'Unaccepted' means not taken, 'unacceptably' is an adverb and 'acceptance' is a noun.
